Learn JavaScript for Free

Check this out: Aquent Gymnasium has just released a new five-hour course that will take you down the path of JavaScript mastery.

Taught by author and developer Keith Peters, JavaScript Foundations is designed for intermediate front-end developers who are ready to take their skills to the next level and—like all Gymnasium courses—is online, self-paced, and absolutely free.

Take the course and here’s what you’ll learn how to do:

Write code that can make basic decisions

Employ efficient debugging techniques with browser developer tools

Access and modify HTML elements and CSS styles on a page

Use JavaScript to communicate with a server

You’ll also learn about the power and functionality of JavaScript libraries and frameworks; a power they’ll use to create an application using Backbone.js.
